You tear me down a hundred times a day I've cried enough to wash the world away
I've tried so hard to be what you've wanted me to be
Till somewhere along the way I lost me
To give and keep on giving I have learned
There's no way but yours where you're concerned
I tried till finally I lost my own identity and somewhere along the way I lost me
Somewhere along the way I lost the man I used to be
A man who smiled enjoyed life loved you with all of me
You'd never once considered how I felt so go ahead and live my life yourself
I've tried so hard to be what you wanted me to be
Somewhere along the way I lost me somewhere along the way I lost me
I've tried so hard to be what you've wanted me to be
Till somewhere along the way I lost me
To give and keep on giving I have learned
There's no way but yours where you're concerned
I tried till finally I lost my own identity and somewhere along the way I lost me
Somewhere along the way I lost the man I used to be
A man who smiled enjoyed life loved you with all of me
You'd never once considered how I felt so go ahead and live my life yourself
I've tried so hard to be what you wanted me to be
Somewhere along the way I lost me somewhere along the way I lost me
